Uncle Iceberg's Road to Collapse

Qu Yao lowered his head, feeling more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

These gangsters who rely on their appearance to make a living, even though they have barely reached this point of poverty, still feel so sorry for the poor and the weak.The "dark" injury was so serious that it was bound to cost a lot to diagnose and treat him, but the girls still did not give up on him, and even used the money they sold to buy him medicine to heal his injuries.

"Okay, you guys don't bow your heads and sigh, everyone has their own destiny, you guys don't stand around... Hurry up and help cook the meal, the deck of the ship is a bit messy, and first Go fix it..."

"Old mother, as I said, we are here to make money, not to do odd jobs." Qu Yao said leisurely with her head down.

"Oh, wages. Since you are buying one and getting three free, how about giving you [-] Wen for one night..."

The old woman thought that what Qu Yao was talking about was wages, but she was interrupted by Qu Yao before she finished speaking...

"When I say making money, I mean making a lot of money!" Qu Yao suddenly raised his head, his eyes were burning with green light, and the old bustard who was staring straight at him shuddered.

"How to make a lot of money?" the old bustard asked tremblingly.

Qu Yao didn't say anything, and walked out of the cabin. The cool breeze was blowing on both sides of the canal. Suddenly, Qu Yao took a closer look, and there was a pontoon bridge at the most rapid part of the river. There was a sign on the bridge, which read "Heroes Huiwu" four characters.Under the sign, there were dozens of baskets of peppers.

Qu Yao's eyes lit up immediately, and he pointed to that place and asked the old bustard, "Mother Wen, what do you do? Martial arts competition to recruit relatives?"

The old bustard, Aunt Wen, looked helpless, took a sip of the water pipe and said, "That's a game of eating chili peppers. Whoever can eat three baskets of chili peppers in a row without drinking a sip of water can take away 500 taels of gold. The deposit for this competition Ten taels of silver. In the past few days, many people have tried it, but none of them could take away the 500 taels. On the contrary, this guard has made a lot of money."

Before that Wen's mother finished speaking, she was taken aback suddenly, and the "Yao girl" who was still in front of her just now unexpectedly disappeared unexpectedly, Wen's mother looked outside again, and she was immediately stunned!I saw that Xiangyao girl turned over like a kite, and stood in front of the ring full of confidence!

"I want to challenge you." Qu Yao slapped the boss in front of the ten taels of silver, and said boldly.

"Okay!" The boss hadn't opened the shop for a long time, happily accepted the money, and handed a certificate to Qu Yao: "After the official signs and draws the deposit, you can start challenging, three baskets of spicy millet without drinking water , as long as you can finish eating, the 500 taels of silver will be yours!"

Qu Yao took the paper and wanted to sign without even looking at it, but in the next second, his hand was bound by life, Qu Yao looked up, and the person who restrained him was Shi Mianci.

"Brother Qu..." Shi Minci frowned and whispered: "This millet pepper is the hottest pepper in Sichuan and Chongqing. Don't look at the size of this basket, ordinary people can't stand it after eating a basket! If you want to Even eating three baskets without drinking water, I'm afraid I'm going to risk my life in it!"

"Life is not enough, at most a chrysanthemum can be put in." Miss Yao smiled awe-inspiringly: "Anyway, I will try this game tonight, so don't stop me."

"Brother Qu!" Unexpectedly, Shi Yanci still did not withdraw his hand, the young man frowned and looked at Qu Yao and said, "Although I don't know what kind of past you have with the woman on the flower boat, but after all, the important thing is first, A man of the world, why bother with such a trivial matter? Besides, you have to look for medicine for your uncle, so if you delay something at this time, it is really not worth it."

At this time, many flower boats and prostitutes have gathered here to watch the excitement. After all, the arena has been empty for several days. Died for money.

"I just can't see the past on such a small matter, and it will be the same in several lifetimes." Qu Yao lowered his eyelids and said softly: "You are right, it is true that the overall situation should be the most important thing, but such a small matter cannot be completed, so what should I do?" Longitude and latitude?"

Shi Minci was taken aback for a moment, then watched Qu Yao sign the petition like a ghost drawing a talisman.

In the distance, the old bustard looked at this person quietly, her eyes became deeper and deeper, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and narrowed her long and thin eyes.

Tranquility Zhou and Tantai Lian also came to Qu Yao's side at this moment, Miss Lian and Miss Jing just wanted to dissuade her, but it was already too late.

Qu Yao has already signed the pleadings, with the intention of being a hero and never looking back.

Qu Yao heroically poured the chili pepper into his mouth, and stuffed a whole basket of chili peppers into his mouth...I didn't feel anything at the moment, but after three seconds, the spicy power came back like a scourge head!Relying on the indomitable will of having endured the punishment of Haifutu, Qu Yao swallowed back the bitterness that came back...

Just like that, Qu Yao glared at the first basket with blood-red eyes, and swallowed it all!

Shi Minci sighed, at this moment a lot of people had gathered around the arena, after the basket of peppers entered his stomach, there was a series of applause!It turned out that the ones who were challenged before were eating a few sticks, and many people quit after they couldn't finish a basket.It was the first time for Qu Yao to dry a basket in one go.

After Qu Yao barely endured the heat, he coughed a few times, his face flushed red.Miss Yao suddenly had an idea, and shouted to the audience: "Since everyone is here to have fun at the Grand Canal, how about making a bet? Just bet on whether the little girl can eat these three baskets of peppers today! Next Pay three!"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately exploded. After a moment of restlessness, there was a master who was watching the excitement and was not afraid of big things, betting 20 taels of snowflake silver!All the customers who came to drink flowers and wine by the Grand Canal were not short of money, so the atmosphere was extremely lively for a while, and everyone was busy betting money.

Shi Minci frowned, and asked Qu Yao in a low voice, "Why are you doing this?"

"You don't know something." Qu Yao said softly: "When I was by the Grand Canal, because of the emergency, I took my senior brother to cheat the girls here. They are all people who are greedy for vanity, don't you know that these girls are actually heroes who have been reduced to rouge."

"If I owe this love, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. Some things, if I owe them for a while and pay them back later, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay them back in this life. So no matter what, I have to pay them back."

Qu Yao clenched his fists firmly in his eyes. He was already sweating profusely and his veins were bulging, but he just wiped his mouth silently.

Qu Yao could only hear a sigh coming from behind.Shi Minci shook his head, took two steps forward to get close to Qu Yao, and patted Qu Yao's shoulder as a gesture.

However, Qu Yao felt a cool pain coming from behind the base of the ear. When Qu Yao was surprised, Shi Minci leaned close to Qu Yao and whispered: "I just injected silver needles on the Yifeng point behind your ear, which is not worthy of half a cup of tea." After a while, you will lose your sense of taste. It will take six hours for your sense of taste to recover."

Qu Yao was startled, and immediately felt that the burning pain in his mouth and tongue had eased!He looked at Shi Mianci in surprise and asked in a low voice: "The little Taoist chief's method is amazing! You actually know acupuncture points?"

After hearing this, Shi Minci smiled slightly, and his eyes softened a little: "I don't understand medical principles, but I just found this method when I was traveling around. This method can relieve many pains when I try to eat the dark dishes made by my master. ..."

Qu Yao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood.

It's not that Shi Minci doesn't have a sense of taste, but because he wants to be filial to his master!In order not to upset his master, who is keen on concocting dark dishes, he actually sealed his sense of taste...

Qu Yao is still filial!Qu Yao sighed, this is true love at all!This can be called 25 filial piety!

In just such a short break, Miss Yao has completely lost her sense of taste.The burning pain just now has all disappeared, but I feel that my throat is a bit dry.

At this time, Qu Yao already had the winning ticket in his hands, and he had confidence in his heart, but in order to get more onlookers to place bets, Qu Yao started acting and humming: "Ah, my family is so spicy... I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore , this bet of losing three, how can I make my family support..."

As soon as people heard this, the betting became more enthusiastic.Tantai Lian went up to pull Qu Yao several times, but she did not pull Qu Yao away, but saw his nephew on the cruise ship waving a small handkerchief and yelling at his neck: "Bet, bet! One payout!" Three! After passing this village, there is no such shop!!”

That night, Qu Yao became another legend on the Grand Canal.

A woman in the dust, single-handedly ate three baskets of millet hot peppers without drinking water, and directly won the 500 taels of silver in the ring!And by betting, he made more than 600 taels of snowflake silver for nothing, and made a total of 100 taels of snowflake silver...Only fighting for a single monthly income, Qu Yao is already the queen of the night!

When he carried two big baskets of snowflake silver onto the small flower boat, Wen's mother and the two girls were dumbfounded...Zhi'er and Qin'er had never seen so much silver in their life, and the two The girl stared at the silver coins so hard that her eyeballs almost fell out.

"Thank you sisters for taking us in tonight." Qu Yao bent down and bowed: "The money will be given to a few of you as a thank you gift."

Zhi'er was so frightened that she almost fell off the boat: "Give us all the money!? Don't you want it?"

Qu Yao nodded lightly: "It's inconvenient for us to hold it, so I gave it to a few of you."

Qin'er excitedly pulled Qu Yao's arm and said with a smile: "I thought that you are so big and three thick, and you have no other advantages except being able to eat, but how could you be a God of Wealth?"

Zhi'er also smiled happily and said, "Great! With this money, I can buy medicine for Heixiang! We can also add some new clothes in winter!"

The two girls were in high spirits, chirping like sparrows in the beginning of spring, but Wen's mother at the side remained silent for a long time.

Wen's mother took a puff of the hookah, and looked at Qu Yao with clear eyes... She glanced at Qu Yao's red and swollen lips, shook her head, took a drag of the hookah, and said clearly: "You... It's not like that."

Qu Yao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the old bustard, and finally pursed his lips and asked, "Did Mom...recognize me?"

After Wen's mother heard this, she didn't speak any more, she just turned her head and told the two girls behind her to stop having fun, and quickly put away the money.

The girls happily collected the money, Tranquility Zhou and Tantai Lian hardly spoke, just watched the scene quietly.The small flower boat continued to move forward. As time passed, the lights on both sides dimmed, and the trees in front gradually thinned. In the dark night, rows of Jiangnan tile houses built along the river gradually appeared.

"After passing this alley, we will enter the city." Wen's mother said softly, "We can only send it here. If there is a disaster ahead, I can only pray for you and ask you to ask for blessings."

After hearing this, the three fell silent and looked at each other.

This Wen's mother probably saw through the details of several people a long time ago, and she must have already figured out their intentions clearly.

After passing through these bridge openings, the dark city gate of Guangling was in front of him. For some reason, Qu Yao suddenly felt that the weather was a little bit colder, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.Looking out the window of the flower boat, there are dozens of night boats patrolling outside the city gate, Qu Yao took a closer look, and all those standing on those boats are black armored purple dragon riders!Even in the dark night, they still sent out every five steps, one post at ten steps and one post at ten steps.

Everyone's heart is tight.

Kewen's mother just quietly looked at the formidable Zilongqi in the distance, and she couldn't feel the slightest fear in her body. Her expression didn't change at all, and her calmness and sophistication were admirable.

Suddenly, Wen's mother smiled in the dark, and said softly: "Your name is Tranquility Zhou, what's your real name?"

Qu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and said, "My name is Qu Yao."

"Qu Yao..." The old bustard silently recited the name, but as if he suddenly thought of the name of an old friend, an indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes.

"You...are you an orphan?"

Wen's mother's eyes changed drastically, and she turned to look at him tremblingly.
